Watered-Down Juice

Sister, leave him— do it now He’s cut your sails and your hair He’s burned a hole in your bed In your forest, in your family Leave him now, do it now The latch that you put on your door When we were children It can’t keep me out anymore I am a thief, I’m here to steal you from him You’ve been asleep for centuries Turned on your side, like a mountain in snow To be hardly recognizable, he’s buried your eyes I am jealous, I am your brother! LEAVE HIM How dare you! HOW DARE YOU! Please leave him and come home, I can’t do this alone Sister, leave him Written Friday, January 29th, 2021 For the contest Watered-Down Juice Sponsored by Edward Ibeh
